The Bell’s Corner bus loop is at the end of SEPTA’s route 59 bus. It’s nothing too remarkable, with overhead wires for the buses, benches, shelters, and facilities for operators. There are no subway, no trolley, or commuter railroad connections nearby, either. The 58, however, does serve the loop indirectly – with stops on Bustleton Avenue. As for land use, it’s actually not that bad, with a housing complex nearby, along with an elementary school. It’s still suburbia though, complete with strip malls, but it could certainly be much worse. Also, there’s a Wawa nearby. Neat.
The good: It exists, and it’s a smart move to turn a turnback mechanism into a bus stop (this also historically was a trolley loop, presumably). Furthermore, it’s got the amenities one would expect for a bus turnback.
The bad: The 58 doesn’t directly serve it, but that’s not a fault of the loop itself. As for faults with the loop, I don’t really have many issues.
Nearby points of interest: There’s a few green spaces, an elementary school, a Wawa, and a housing complex. Also, suburbia.

Overall, it’s serviceable, it’s nothing too crazy, but it’s not a miserable place either.
